I repeat never EVER,EVER interrupt the guitar solo on this song

[@jamesmcclain5005]

NEVER NEVER NEVER!

[@anitamiller4351]

Live meant live back then. Real musicians real singers. Pure talent.

[@coder4liberty]

It does today as well for more bands then you think.

[@onsesejoo2605]

And lotsa experience and practice.

[@ndpd11]

I've seen them in concert, I think around 2014. In a live performance, each song is absolute perfection - every note, every vocal harmony. Amazing songwriters, musicians, and vocalists. Consummate professionals. You really owe it to yourself to listen to some of the other quality videos of The Eagles in concert.

[@James-s6b7z]

Two of the best guitarists ever... Dueling it out live. It doesn't get any better

[@sourisvoleur4854]

And they look so happy doing it! It's always a joy to see musicians who look like they're enjoying their performance.

[@kevinmoss5538]

Two of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Pure God given talent!

[@jaybennett7242]

Them boys just get Nasty on them Guitars, and yeah this is one of the Greatest Rock Songs ever.

[@gutsfield3504]

Hotel California is a song that one wishes would not end. I put it on loop. Your comments are excellent. Spot on. Probably the greatest popular song in music history and this version was LIVE. How was it such perfection? Many things about Hotel California are unique. It causes physical and psychological effects much like a very strong chemical in the brain. I noticed a change in mood throughout the entire song. It will never be duplicated.

[@salvatorepucci6825]

👍👍👍

[@marianclough8577]

It's always a joy watching new people react to beloved songs.

[@DanTesta58]

Saw them on this tour. They opened the set with this classic. Music was special back then, even got to see Steve Miller as the opening act. Best 12 Bucks I ever spent.

[@GianniGiorgini-j9z]

GREAT song and GREAT Riff the guitars Eagles Amazing band.......

[@williamjones6031]

The dual guitars at the end make it worth the wait.🤩🤩

[@lovesmusic0845]

If you want to know why they are so good, watch their documentary History of the Eagles. First they are incredibly talented but they also put in the work. They wrote and played all the music themselves. They didn’t need 10 people dancing around them to entertain the crowd. The music did that on its own. Henley (drums) said it took him practicing a long time to drum and sing effectively at the same time. Same thing with Glenn Frey. He listened to Jackson Browne write songs for a year in the apt above him. Glenn realized it was the work and practice that made a great songwriter. This is what bands and singers used to do. Before the stage spectacular, spectacular became the show. They wrote great music. Of course they trashed a lot of hotel rooms too. But on stage it was all about the music.

[@joanmatthews2570]

Love this song and the Eagles

[@anitawright7169]

The Eagles are icons. This song is iconic. Instant goosebumps. As you know, playing the drums and singing is difficult at best. Love them and this song very much. Love your reaction!

[@emrem.8819]

This song is definitely out of this world. And the band is an exceptional one in terms of their productions and performances. Can hardly compare with some other...

[@billc.5861]

Eagles in this performance Don Henley. Lead Vocals / Drums Glenn Frey. Acoustic guitar Randy Meisner. Bass Joe Walsh. Lead Guitar Don Felder. Double neck Lead Guitar ** the songs music and the concept for it was written by guitarist Don Felder, the lyrics were written with the help of Glenn Frey & Don Henley ** Each member of Eagles could be and were a lead singer in the band.

[@belvagurr403]

The best part is at the end when the 2 guitars on the right are turning it out!!! Joe Walsh, in the red bandanna is a genius!!! Check out his solo recordings!!!

[@Immortalheart66]

This is one example of why the 1970’s will never be matched. Eagles, Zep, Floyd, Queen, and much more. Generation X had it all. We are so blessed to have lived it in real time. Grand reaction.🔥🔥✊🤘✌️

I have never heard another song that was just incredibly perfect. From the harmonies every note was not played off, the result well your listening to it.

[@susanyaworski5895]

The best band ever in my book.

[@realitycheck5376]

My man asked the question "What can you say?" My answer: "Don't interrupt the solo!"

[@starbright158]

They were just GREAT, LOVE THE GUITAR PLAYING!!!!!

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

8:31 The pick scrape that they both do as they trade of the solo is so badass. It's not on the studio version. I learned this version, so the scrapes are a must.

[@flameow8491]

Oh man, I love the pick scrape! It adds such a perfect addition!

[@klancykat]

Your goosebumps gave me goosebumps and I have watched this at least 50 times.😄

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

You know what's lacking these days from those greats in the past? Simple talent. Today it all about glitz and making everything perfect --- with electronics. They don't let the talent, the skills, and the abilities show through. Its lights, noise and electronics.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

I was at the only “Hotel California” concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City in March 1977. It was the best concert I’ve ever been to. I wish I still had that concert t-shirt.

[@StephenRoss-pj9ih]

This was the golden age of Rock!😍🤯

[@debbers]

I say try not to stop during a guitar solo, it breaks up the greatness of the song! There are plenty of places to stop before it and also after it the song will be done! Each one of them does lead vocals! Amazing group! Fabulous reaction, other than stopping during that wonderful solo!

[@davidbelcher5419]

I've seen over 150 bands live but the Eagles are top 2 live performances I've ever seen.

[@kd8199]

I saw the Eagles at RFK Stadium, Wash., DC. It was the biggest sing along I’ve ever been too. The crowd knew every word. Saw Pink Floyd there too. Those were two of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

As a hair guitar player since 1985, I say this is the greatest rock n roll solo ever put on tape. Stairway To Heaven is #2, except on Wednesday and Saturdays. They swap spots on those days. 😁

[@stephenreiner1523]

This song debuted the year I graduated from h.s. There will never be another time like this for the music that came out of the 70s. There's no way ever.

[@susanyaworski5895]

only 1K likes surprises me.this is an incredible classic song.

[@domeshine69]

Drummer/vocalist Don Henley also had several big solo hits. "The Boys of Summer", "Sunset Grille", "All She Wants To Do Is Dance", and a great duets "Leather and Lace" with Stevie Nicks and "Sometimes Love Ain't Enough" with Patty Smythe from Scandal ("The Warrior").

[@BobSmith-lb9nc]

The guitar piece at the end can stand on its own. Indeed, it was composed first, before the song itself.

[@stephenreiner1523]

Hats off to Don Felder for showing the Eagles they could be a serious rock band and Don Henley will tell you that.

[@horstschafer1839]

Not only interrupting a Solo, too many at all. I'm a patient guy, but there is a line of interruptions for a song. Expasially for THIS.

[@stephenpresley5772]

Great song and reaction

[@captainkangaroo4301]

I saw them on this tour in Minneapolis. Thunderstorms, tornado warnings and a pouring rain. The band played on. Opening acts were Pablo Cruise and the Steve Miller Band

[@leisastalnaker3790]

Considering this 1977. The year I graduated from High School. I remember when the album came out. We really had some great albums in 1976-77.

[@teverly5150]

Listen to the backstage preconcert warm up of 7 Bridges Road, no microphones, just their voices warming up for the concert. It will blow your mind. Eagles have that talent.

[@lorilxn1597]

My first album i got was Eagles Hotel California, my mom was a big fan of them too.

[@helokopter924]

You could spend your reaction career on 70s music. So many groups, singers..........soooo much talent. REAL music.

[@PAT8888-is2pd]

I love the acoustic version that they did when they got back together. I believe the album was called "Hell freezes over". This impresses you? Watch the video of the acoustic version.

[@suecook1326]

For another great drummer/lead singer, check out Rare Earth and Peter Rivera. Rare Earth was the first white band signed by Motown so very soulful! I never heard of too many others!

[@matthewvernier9477]

I saw them at Tiger Stadium in Detroit 1994 Hell Freezes Over tour. Outstanding show

[@_Coffee4Closers]

Just seeing Don Henley with a Perm is worth the price of entry.

[@StephenRoss-pj9ih]

I’ve heard the song is a metaphor of addiction.🌴🌞

[@ephealy]

The drummer also sings on Black Magic Woman (Santana). Same dude was the drummer and original co-lead vocalist for Journey. Mad talent. (not Don Henley BTW, who is also awesome)

[@leahjeansonne9823]

Enjoy the music, as a musician would, without ridiculous, interruptions✌️

[@coder4liberty]

Managing breath while playing drums and singing is like developing arm and leg independence. How good a drummer is at limb independence is how good they would be at singing and playing. Including breath control.

[@DannyMarshall-z4o]

Always live or Video 50s threw 80s 😊

[@Coastal15]

A lot of bands have a very talented artiste, but only a few bands are made up of so many.

[@nativetexan9776]

No one ever warned you about pausing a solo to put your 2 cents in?

[@jimcook5711]

Take it to the limit live, same concert.

[@thage7729]

I would wholeheartedly endorse checking out the “Hell Freezes Over” version of this song… same song, but completely different feel… the HFO album was the first recorded after they reunited.

[@cyu5251]

OMG - babe, never ever stop in the middle of a guitar solo 😳🙄😬

[@belvagurr403]

EVER INTERUPT HOTEL CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!

[@jimcook5711]

Playing drums and singing doesn't get you out of breath. It's playing a 5th instrument. I can, as a drummer, do this, but I gotta say Don is a freaking master at it. Some of the stuff he plays and sings is just stupid hard.

[@antonybrent6232]

Perfection 🔥🔥🔥

[@darrell9410]

They sound the same then as they do now.

[@helaina400]

Unfortunately, you really don’t know when to pause

[@morbiouslenoir]

If you're going to talk over it, I'll go elsewhere.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Unless you have a desire to be shot, do NOT interrupt any guitar solo, especially this one.

[@Bearaway]

People have gone to jail for interrupting this guitar run. There are some things you just DON'T do...

[@alainemancini3366]

Joe Walsh and a Telecaster.....Killer.

[@RandyGabbert]

What shall we say? DON"T INTERRUPT SOLOS.......EVER!

[@daveray44]

Last time I had seen Don Henley in concert, he was out front for his solo music but went back behind to the drums when he was performing his songs with the Eagles Could this be what was happening at the time of your experience?

[@davemcbroom695]

Don't forget Levon Helm!

[@dbower58]

This line-up didn't last long, for the Hotel California album Joe Walsh had just replaced Bernie Leadon, but Randy Meisner was still there, he would soon go back to Poco and Timothy B. Schmidt would replace him. Henley wasn't the main singer in the early days, they all took turns on lead (except Don), and before Joe, they were much less a "rock" band - easily to drop and sing lead at a lower volume and tempo.

[@jodyirvin3156]

Never pause during the guitar solos !

[@ApocGuy]

NEVER EVER. Pause ANY instrumental solo 😉

[@rickmartin7533]

I can’t believe you stopped this classic song right in the middle of the guitar solo. Don’t ever do that again!!!

[@bradrichert3966]

"How can they be so good?" Really? 1977 - the height of the Rock Era. Disco, then Punk killed any really good music when they arrived. All these guys were incredibly talented musicians, who could actually recreate their studio sound live, unlike the "studio musicians" of today who a) Need autotune to stay on pitch, b) Seem 'lacking' in their instrumental skills for someone at that level, and c) Never come up with a creative storyline for new material...like Hotel California. To quote a line from a show I love: "Real music died about 1977."

[@michaelmcgowen8780]

Regarding the messages about not interrupting, I'll expand that. You should never interrupt ANY instrumental solo, regardless of the instrument (guitars, keyboards, drums, bass, etc.). Also, please don't talk over any part of a song, if for no other reason that YOU may miss something.

[@russellnorth1418]

Bro, you said you wouldn't interrupt and you fuckin did..lol

Why are we cutting and moving forward on the solo?

[@doghouse151]

You interrupt too much, and talk too much and break in too much.

[@gregcarlson6342]

Why the fast forward editing (I counted twice)? Too much talking, and shut off the "mute audio" setting when you talk somewhere in your sound program settings.

[@daveloboda1769]

I know it's a reaction but, thou shalt not interrupt Don Felder and Joe Walsh. Sacrilege.

[@beachside1]

Do you keep skipping over parts or is it me?Btw stopping during the solo is criminal...Lock him up boys
